We study the structure of C*-algebras associated with compactly aligned product systems over group embeddable right LCM-semigroups. Towards this end we employ controlled maps and a controlled elimination method that associates the original…
We introduce a new quantum Gromov-Hausdorff distance between C*-algebraic compact quantum metric spaces. Because it is able to distinguish algebraic structures, this new distance fixes a weakness of Rieffel's quantum distance. We show that…
We use non-symmetric distances to give a self-contained account of C*-algebra filters and their corresponding compact projections, simultaneously simplifying and extending their general theory.
For any nilpotent Lie group $G$ we provide a description of the image of its $C^*$-algebra through its operator-valued Fourier transform. Specifically, we show that $C^*(G)$ admits a finite composition series such that that the spectra of…
A cosystem consists of a possibly nonselfadoint operator algebra equipped with a coaction by a discrete group. We introduce the concept of C*-envelope for a cosystem; roughly speaking, this is the smallest C*-algebraic cosystem that…
Topological quivers are generalizations of directed graphs in which the sets of vertices and edges are locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Associated to such a topological quiver Q is a C*-correspondence, and from this correspondence one may…
We investigate Cuntz-Pimsner $C^*$-algebras associated with certain correspondences of the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$. We analyze these $C^*$-algebras by analogy with irrational rotation algebras $A_\theta$ and Cuntz algebras $\mathcal{O}_n$.…
A tutorial introduction is given to general Hopf algebras and to general compact quantum groups. In the definition and further treatment of compact quantum groups C*-algebras are avoided. Contact with Woronowicz's compact matrix quantum…
We define the profinite completion of a C*-algebra, which is a pro-C*-algebra, as well as the pro-C*-algebra of a profinite group. We show that the continuous representations of the pro-C*-algebra of a profinite group correspond to the…
Topological quivers generalize the notion of directed graphs in which the sets of vertices and edges are locally compact (second countable) Hausdorff spaces. Associated to a topological quiver $Q$ is a $C^*$-correspondence, and in turn, a…
We consider a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $G$ which is graded over a discrete group. Then the fibre over the identity is an open and closed subgroupoid $G_e$. We show that both the full and reduced C*-algebras of this subgroupoid…
We prove a number of results having to do with equipping type-I $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras with compact quantum group structures, the two main ones being that such a compact quantum group is necessarily co-amenable, and that if the…
On looking at the literature associated with string theory one finds statements that a sequence of matrix algebras converges to the 2-sphere (or to other spaces). There is often careful bookkeeping with lengths, which suggests that one is…
In analogy with the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra of a group, we associate to a unital discrete twisted C*-dynamical system a Banach algebra whose elements are coefficients of equivariants representations of the system. Building upon our…
Via Gelfand duality, a unital C*-algebra $A$ induces a functor from compact Hausdorff spaces to sets, $\mathsf{CHaus}\to\mathsf{Set}$. We show how this functor encodes standard functional calculus in $A$ as well as its multivariate…
We show that given a rigid C*-tensor category, there is an equivalence of categories between normalized irreducible Q-systems, also known as connected unitary Frobenius algebra objects, and compact connected W*-algebra objects. Although…
On a discrete group G a length function may implement a spectral triple on the reduced group C*-algebra. Following A. Connes, the Dirac operator of the triple then can induce a metric on the state space of reduced group C*-algebra. Recent…
We derive faithful inclusions of C*-algebras from a coend-type construction in unitary tensor categories. This gives rise to different potential notions of discreteness for an inclusion in the non-irreducible case, and provides a unified…
Compact matrix quantum groups act naturally on Cuntz algebras. The first author isolated certain conditions under which the fixed point algebras under this action are Kirchberg algebras. Hence they are completely determined by their…
We use a tensor C*-category with conjugates and two quasitensor functors into the category of Hilbert spaces to define a *-algebra depending functorially on this data. If one of them is tensorial, we can complete in the maximal C*-norm. A…
